I’m not going to badmouth the dead. I’m just hoping that he had enough time to repent and get right with the LORD. I heard today that he was raised in a Christian home, which most likely included parents who prayed diligently for the salvation of their children. I am of the belief that those prayers are answered, since the Bible promises, in several places, that when we pray according to God’s will, He gives us those things about which we pray. And we know that it is His will that everyone be saved. 1 Timothy 2:1-8. See also, John, chapters 14-16.
Each to his own in that respect.....enough to say as was posted... may God comfort those who loved him.

I generally agree with that with the caveat that Salvation is still a personal decision. God DOES seem to intervene. I’ve experienced it myself multiple times.
